Mark 8:18: Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)

Religion

Worldlings ye may, but will not see
Ye will not hear the truth, and know
That all on earth is vanity.
While heaping up your wealth below,
Ye quite forget that coming day
When earth and heaven shall flee away.

Ye will not bear it in your mind
That God can all your riches blast,
Scatter as chaff before the wind,
And driven from His face at last
Confine you to the burning pool,
With not a drop your tongue to cool.
